“They are all dangerous, so you don’t think about only one player, because it’s always a team.

“But obviously their attack is the key. So hopefully we’re gonna block them.”

When PSG and United were drawn together in December, not many gave the Manchester team a hope of advancing to the quarter-finals of Europe’s elite competition.

But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who took over as caretaker boss following Jose Mourinho’s sacking, has led United to 10 wins from 11 games.

Pogba’s form has been one of the biggest positives for United, and now he’s looking forward to playing against his hometown team.

“Coming from Paris, and playing against your ‘home’ or your first town, it’s my first time, so it’s going to be beautiful! I’m going to have my family around, all my friends. But I hope we win,” he said.
